-Local diners can now check the new electronic restaurant inspection reports in real-time before heading out to eat. The Northwest Georgia Public Health office has been working for several years to upgrade all restaurant inspection reports into an electronic, real-time format. The new program is rolling out in all 10 counties in the district--including Floyd, Bartow, Gordon, Polk and Chattooga -- on Thursday, says Tim Alle, district environmental manager.

"You will now be able to on our website and search for restaurants by name, address or facility type. It will include all previous reports and the new electronic report will be a complete detail report so you will know exactly what the violations were and how they were corrected," Alle says. "The entire report will be uploaded as soon as the inspector leaves the restaurant, so it will be in real-time."

Alle says there will be a transition period to get all of Floyd County's 275 facilities upgraded to the electronic inspection reports. He estimates it will take approximate six months for all the restaurants to have their electronic inspection online. Each restaurant is inspected every six months.
